not sure why this is funny...you're going to have a ton of people who have spent the entire time they've had their car (me included) running down their battery because something they expected to turn off like it always has suddenly remains powered on, without any notification from tesla that they were changing that behavior.

i'm wondering if either of those is powered by the wire in the kick panel people have been using to add a second 12v in the forward console. if so, i may have to expedite my pulling of the console to add the additional outlet...
@PoitNarf,
Why the need to clear it out? Won’t the new recordings just ‘overwrite’ the old ones or will it just stop recording when the drive is full? That was my other question....are the Sentry recordings ‘write Protected’?

At least with the version I was on previously, 2019.5.4, video files in the “saved clips” folder (which stores both clips you save when tapping on the dash cam icon to save an event and clips from any events recorded while Sentry Mode is on) do not clear out automatically. A few people here reported their drives becoming full from too many events being recorded and the files would not automatically get overwritten with newer files. It’s possible Tesla changed how this works in 2019.5.15, I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

I wouldn't use either one as an additional 12V outlet unless all you are powering are some LED's or something.
i wasn't suggesting using the LED itself as a power source, i was wondering out loud if it's powered from the same source in the kick panel that others have successfully used as an additional outlet power source. see here for details:

Gotcha.
I'm going home to see how that source works now. Hopefully it switches on and off like the center console 12V source used to.
I'll let you know in a few hours.
based on this reply, it seems there is at least some power source there that will allow for the old mode of operation. still waiting for him to reply to confirm exactly where he tapped that power from.
12v now always on?
Seems safe to me. Just got the update to 2019.5.15. Can't confirm 12v stays on as I'm out of state from my car (but seems as though others have confirmed is stays on). Regarding waking, my car wakes immediately when accessing via the app, used to take from a couple seconds to longer.
Does it immediately load on the app if sentry mode is off? I’ve noticed it loads immediately when sentry mode is active.
I haven't activated Sentry mode since I am out of town. The couple times I've tried it today, remotely, it has woken up immediately (since the update). This morning, before the update it would take 10-20 seconds or longer. Just tried again and it woke up immediately.
